Almost always there's like half if not more decks that would use Victory Dragon, except for very few decks that couldn't use, all decks that could sort of use it would have some variation where it used Victory Dragon.

I built SPYRALs in Master Duel and like when it gets going it's good but it has so many opportunities to get interrupted. Its main good counter is that full combo lets it get appointer onto the field to rip a board breaker from your opponents hand, but that requires you getting to your opponent's turn uninterrupted

[@samu0l095]

Nha, spiral main weakness is the 3 years that you need to make his combo XD

[@DrIMPRATICAL]

Spyral has a lot of weird tech you can slap into the deck and change it to fit the meta, there's not really a "best" Spyral list You can do EEV lines, Kali-Yuga turbo, you can do Synchro lines with Baronne/Savage Dragon/Hot Red The deck is genuinely one of the most flexible things I've ever played, it just takes a fucking age to combo off, and has a number of bricks you REALLY do not want to draw in your opener And it also gets hard fucked by Maxx C

[@sdedy379]

Call me crazy but isn't main game plan of spyral just same as admancipator in that it abuse certain card that can plus every time and make "unbreakable board". It just link doesn't have easy early negate like synchro had.

[@zacharyhampton9978]

@@sdedy379if links had easily accessible negates you’d be seeing alot of broken tech lol. The problem with SPYRAL is the reliance on normal to actually play SPYRAL. If you normal summon is disrupted or negated then you don’t search drone or use drone effect so you can use super agent and double helix. Master plan is broken because search is soft once per turn while field spell and monster search are hard once per turns. Danger works well because SPYRAL spell and traps are better in grave than on field unless under weird circumstances. The main deck boss monster is good but he’s no DPE. SPYRAL is a deck that’s just gotten worse because yugioh keeps making better decks. Even though they ban broken decks just to make more broken decks lol

Pure D Rulers would basically only have the chance to make one of them or maybe jump thorugh a lot of hops to make two... when Dragon Link does that with probably 1 Normal Summon. And mixing them doesn't solve the problem, bc a high density of Rulers hinders D Link consistency. Or if you SS a Ruler from deck with the babies or maybe 2, what do you make: Diablosis? (Since we are in no Banlisr) The Hieratic Link? And yeah, we have Tomahawk available in this scenario, but that's not Guardragon access, is just generic Links into a Masquerena with an Extra Link 2 or something like that. Not bad, but subpar to what Dragon Links do themselves. Better to get higher mileage for my cards with Tracer or the baby Chaos Dragons, while ensuring Guardragon access.

I feel like a contributing factor to this is that Tearlament was still being optimized. People really started experimenting with fusion options and materials a while after Ishizu cards were printed. Somewhat similar to Spright optimization, though the ceiling for power output was still higher with Tearlament, their presence on the banlists are proof of this.

@otterfire4712 Kind of, but the first Tear deck to make a genuine splash in the TCG was Danger Tear with Curious. And that's only because Nibiru wasn't being played because of Spright.

So when you think of dragon ruler you don't think of them as full strategy but as cards dragon pile deck which is *extremely op* .

The TCG didn’t have a Tear format with Maxx C legal. This whole list actually should consider what Banlist we would going off of, and with older decks, if we are using pre-errata and even when priority worked different.

Can you make a video of decks that are almost/as powerful as tier zero decks but for whatever reason never reached the standard definition to be a tier zero deck.

Mindhacker warped the format of everyone running doubles of key cards in the extra deck and the deck also forced everyone to start main decking the Book Of cards. Also, TCG Spright. The amount of heated debates I’ve read over “it wasn’t actually tier zero because it was only in the meta for a little while before everyone jumped ship to Tear.” And some people also debate Spellbooks weren’t truly tier zero because Dragon Rulers stopped it.

[@PipePlazaStudios]

As a dragon link player, Dragon Rulers have aged horribly. In theory they can provide pretty good followup turn 3 onwards, but the deck isn't short on that at the moment (magnamhut and regained do that just fine) and beyond printing a few bodies in a very inefficient manner they don't actually do anything unique or useful. Redox and Tidal their unique effects in theory remain strong, but being tied to main deck monsters and requiring an appropriate discard of their matching attribute (Earth or Water) makes it very inconsistent within dragon decks specifically. Them not being Chaos Attribute also contradicts how we build dragon decks at the moment, the chaos babies and bystials mandate Light and Dark. I'm positive they'd achieve very little at 3, and if they did do anything I imagine it'd be Tidal in dedicated Water decks (dedicated earth decks already have vernusylphs)

Full power pendulum is just a ftk. They were doing that when master duel came out and they would do it again if they could. I'd put it in S tier cause they could consistently do it turn 1 through interruptions. Turn 2 might be harder but that depends on the board. Which they can otk often times. Maybe A tier at worse but going first they will just ftk every time. Dragon rulers at 3 would be pretty insane cause shuffling them in reaction does nothing cause they can banish the others for more extenders without the body being on the field. With the rank 7 pool, they'd be insane. A tier is fine. Spellbound needs a runick fountain and they'd be fine. All my input

It’s WAY easier to negate (hi, Infinite Impermanence or just…any monster negate that modern decks make?), and even if the effect goes off, many decks can still play with all their cards in the graveyard. Pre-errata CED is a ridiculous card that would probably see play, but it’s not a tier 0 deck by itself when stacked up to all the other tier 0 decks. The only way you can think it is is if you look at how ahead of its time it was and then try to put it that far ahead of the modern metagame (say, by making it so that you can’t respond to the summon or the effect, and that your opponent can’t activate any graveyard effects until the end of the next turn after you use the effect).

Dragon rulers are not even that good anymore. At best you would end with a slightly better version of modern dragon link decks.

[@RedOfFlames]

PePe will never be as powerful as it used to be entirely bc of modern pendulum rules stopping them from flooding the board every single turn

[@ivanbluecool]

Tear and spright annoy me so much to play against. Only way I have a chance is to floodgate and burn them while they figure out how to remove it.

tearlaments was as fair as this game is ever going to get, because even with all these board breakers going first is just too much of an advantage in this game.

[@starbound100]

The fact that between tear and everything else there is not at least one empty tier displeases me. I honestly cannot fathom how we will ever powercreep something like that.

[@Endershock1678]

Tear was broken, but could lose if they miss their targets with their mills, which was rare, but could happen and did as some top cuts, and more common, lose downright to shifter. What would really power creep tear would be a deck that could play through most major hand traps and perform their combos turn 0 going second like Tear could.

[@Inquisite1031]

​​​@@Endershock1678 a vaccum sure shifter does something to tears, but in practice, u need a deck that can play shifter, and there are not a lot of those, and all of the decks in this video do not want to run shifter lol if u want to be optimal, and tears can still play thru it esp at full power, and in the context of this video, tears can mill as much as they want since they are not up against a mirror, tears missed mills in tournaments cause u don't mill as much in tear mirrors.

[@Endershock1678]

@@Inquisite1031 I know they could. What I'm saying is the only deck that could power creep Tear is a Tear that could play through Shifter, so there is theoretically room to grow.

0:28 I would argue Tearlaments is still Tier A just because one single specific but blatantly obvious weakness they have: It can easily brick and HARD (because it sometimes depends on your luck) Even taking into account the ratios at full power, and all the stuff, you could easily start with 2 - 3 copies of "Tearlaments Scream", one other S/T you can't use at the moment (Sulliek and Cryme, which both need a Tearlaments on Field to even be usable, and in Cryme's case a discard of a monster too); and some of the Ishizu / "Exchange of Spirit" cards that can't actually do anything unless you send them from Hand or Deck to GY or your opponent does something. Or you need to wait until at least your opponent's turn to use (Gravekeeper's trap). Or worse. be left stuck with your garnets (hello Shaddoll Beast). Or alternatively, mill stuff that just hurts. Like milling your copies of ash blossom, or maxx c, or your one offs like harpie's feather duster or called by the grave or infinite impermanence. all without getting a single tearlaments. and even if it happens onlyonce, that can easily be game over And even stuff that could easily unbrick you like "Diviner of the Herald" or drawing 1 single "Tearlaments Reino-Heart", can be easily stopped with just 1 infinite impermanece or ash blossom or psy-frame gamma.

[@jirachi4765]

At full power you didn't need to play 2-3 scream - you could just play all the names at 3 and the ishizus and the traps and that's basically the deck. And remember that a shuffler plus a miller is combo, or keldo and another ishizu, or herald of the orange light plus a shuffler once your opponent activates a monster effect are all combo.

[@zedsky2181]

Bruh full power tear cant brick with 3 herald 3 perlerino and all 3 tear names with 3 ishizu. And all the sacky 1 of cards like instant fusion

[@Endershock1678]

You're doing something wrong if you're bricking often with Tear.

When the deck does that consistently across many tournaments, then we talk. Anecdotal evidence doesn't help.

Zoodiac is like C, they don't really do anything. Their endboard is Drident + a rank 4. It really isn't enough in todays game.

[@zeo4481]

Woooh, that's an opinion indeed, we are talking about the 2nd best deck of all time buddy, whit Ratpier legal you have infinite material to go into any XYZ you can imagine. Just like how Tear has almost no ceiling for what Fusions it can summon, Zoo can be splashed in EVERY deck, and they would be because of how versatile they are. Only things like Floo and Monarch wouldn't play the full Zoo engine.

[@rocapbg9518]

@@zeo4481 I'm not your buddy dumbass. There have been many tournaments with no banlists and mixed banlists and no one plays a zoo engine. The most people play is pure zoo with 3 ratpier and ton of staples but it never performs particularly well. The deck has been powercrept. Decks post POTE demolish Zoo and it's not even close.

[@sadrobot5501]

The thing is.... all the techs. Thats the problem with Zoo. Since the engine has low requirement in deck spaces, you can run all the techs you want.
